The Öberlandrat Brno, 23 May 194l. in Briinn. Pol.- 2 To the commander of the order police at the HE Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia in P r a g. Subject: _Setting of Germans near police station in Brinn. On the order of 24.4.1941 - IIp 31.1l.- When I began to advertise Germans for recruitment at the police direction of Brno about 1 year ago when I took office as the managing Oberlandrat, it was clear to me from the outset that in the foreseeable future not so much interpretation could be found, for example, in order to achieve parity with the Czechs. The main purpose of the advertising campaign was to win as many Germans as was necessary in order to have at least one German in the individual committees and departments who could carry out a certain political surveillance of the Czechs, so to a certain extent his eye and ear of the German police director. I also hbbed this to one of your gentlemen y der s.Zt. In the meantime, in countless reports, for the first time on 13.8.194o, I pointed out the necessity of the Germans' recruitment to the commander of the police order. Therefore, the delay in the matter has certainly not been caused from here. In this respect, no accusation can be made against the police directorate of Brno, since neither the latter nor the Oberlandrat were aware that the recruitment applications were not to be addressed to the ministry, but to the Bao. With regard to the verification of the eligibility of applicants, it was carried out effectively before the requests were forwarded from the police department to the national authorities. Particular emphasis was placed on the medical examination of the retired people coming for re-employment in Frgge. Of these, only a few were intended for the road service; the majority should, as already mentioned, provide law firms in the foreign commissioners for political reasons. I would ask that the 4 retired applicants from the group of pensioners mentioned in the above-mentioned decree be re-examined under this heading. I attach great importance to the use of these people in canzbidienst. If applicants l3 have refused to hire, this becomes understandable by the fact that they were allegedly informed during the investigation at the police department that they would only be eligible for road services, that they could also be used for a service in the Balkan countries and that the young applicants would receive a monthly salary of 7oo.--K.
